I am dropping a 4.6 in my mustang. But building it from intake to oil pan. What is a good site to get forged internals? (Pistons, rods, crank, etc.)

That's awesome man. Wish I had the time to do the same :'(

 

except that brenspeed tune.

no answer to high altitude issues on the 4.6.

no answer to the #8 failure in the 5.0.

 

I too have a Forged Engine build underway with associated driveline mods. Once you get going you will figure out that the "(Pistons, rods, crank, etc.)" list is a pretty long one. Clearly the "etc." will fit you in the pocket book. Here is my current parts list which grows daily as you plan your build:

Any idea what you run at the track with all that?

 

No idea, but I am targeting for 550 to 600 HP at the wheels.

 

With all my plans I plan on putting 900hp from the motor. It's just going to take a while. And lots of money. I just hope to get there soon

 

900 HP on the street, WOW that is a very aggressive goal!!! I am not sure that it can be done on pump gas? Do your plans call for a return style fuel system and alternate fuel?

 

Ya that's my goal. But like you said it's an aggressive goal. I don't know a whole lot about fuel systems. If it can't be done on pump fuel then I probably won't get 900. I'm in a v6 now so anything is a big jump. But I want to do it right before I drop it in. I guess I'll see what 25 pounds of boost gives me before I mess with the fuel systems

 

How close are you to being done, would love to see end results!

 

900 hp on the street would be pretty useless, unless you like to spin the tires a lot.

You also might want to look into chassis stiffening with that kind of power, I don't know what the v6 chassis is rated for but 900 is pretty insane.

I'm in the mid 600hp range with my GT500 swap and first gear is completely useless if I stomp it. Hell second gear is too come to think.

It's fun as hell, but just be careful with that much you're going to find traction a real problem.

 

Ya I mean once I get it dropped in, it's definitely not goin to be pushing 900. That's just what I'd like it to be at eventually. To get that much on a dyno I would probably have to be pushing a lot of boost and a shot of nitrous. And what have you done to the GT500 motor?

 

For that kind of power you are better off going with a return style fuel system. Talk to these guys http://www.sandhperformance.com/?page_id=48 and they can build you a system for your needs. You will also need a much better transmission and rear end to handle that kind of power.

GT500 motor is stock. But added a bigger blower and upgraded HE.
